Okay, so now you need to get to the Terminal. If your graphics card doesn't have drivers (it's running in Classic mode) than go to the Applications menu in the top-right corner, choose Accessories > Terminal. If Unity is loaded, go to the Ubuntu icon at the top right and search for Terminal. Now type: the following commands:

cd ~/
sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT > dsdt.aml

Bingo! You now have the DSDT in your home folder; now you can drag it onto a flash drive and upload it. If you want to be a dear, you can also decompile it by entering the following commands:

sudo apt-get install iasl
iasl -d ~/dsdt.aml

Then drag dsdt.dsl onto your flash drive.

You can edit it in either. It doesn't really matter. I would post this issue with your DSDT up in the DSDT forum and see if any DSDT gurus know what to do (I'm a noob to DSDT; I only know how to fix the RTClock, which is totally unrelated to your issue ).
